The Federal Government has disbursed N2.311 billion to federal universities to settle outstanding arrears owed to academic and non-academic staff.
The funds, processed through the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), mark a significant step in the administration’s efforts to revitalize Nigeria’s tertiary education sector.
Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced the release on Wednesday while providing updates on the government’s ongoing engagements with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other university-based unions.
